  • the method disclosed in U.S. Patent 5,460,904 is not favorable as a production method because a treatment with an organic solvent is involved in the formation of the ion conducting layer, which necessitates a step for removing the organic solvent and equipment for the organic solvent removal.
  • a first method for forming a lithium ion battery according to the invention is a method for forming a lithium ion battery comprising a positive electrode having a positive electrode active material layer, a negative electrode having a negative electrode active material layer, and a separator as constituent elements, these constituent elements being impregnated with an electrolytic solution, which comprises the step of joining the positive electrode and the negative electrode via the separator with an adhesive resin containing at least partially a plastic resin being present in parts between the positive electrode and the separator and between the negative electrode and the separator and the step of deforming the adhesive resin.
  • a second method for forming a lithium ion battery according to the invention is the above-described first method for forming a lithium ion battery, wherein the step of deforming the adhesive resin is carried out by applying at least the pressure that causes the plastic resin to undergo plastic deformation.

  • the adhesive resin comprises a plastic resin at least partially, the production equipment can be simplified, which will lead to a great improvement in productivity. Further, since the contact area of the adhesive resin to the positive and negative electrodes and to the separator has been increased by deforming the resin to enhance the adhesive force, the completed battery has a high battery strength enough for practical use.
  • a second lithium ion battery according to the invention is the above-described first battery wherein the plastic resin is a thermoplastic resin.
  • the plastic resin is a thermoplastic resin.

  • the plastic resin is a resin which is solid and self-adhesive at ambient temperature and deforms on heat or pressure application.
  • a lithium ion battery having the above-mentioned structure is formed by, for example, the following method.
  • the method for forming a battery according to the invention comprises applying an adhesive resin 6 in parts between a positive electrode 3 and a separator 4 and between a negative electrode 5 and the separator 4 and deforming the adhesive resin 6 by the method described hereunder, for example, by pressure or heat application.
  • the voids 7 between the electrodes 3 and 5 and the separator 4 are pressed to reduce their depth L to a prescribed value.
  • any adhesive resin that does not dissolve in an electrolytic solution can be used in the invention as an adhesive resin 6.
  • the plastic resin which is contained in the adhesive resin 6 is not particularly limited. Examples of useful plastic resins include polyolefins, polyglycols, and silicon resins.
  • the adhesive resin 6 may further contain organic or inorganic powder, fiber, etc.
  • the total area of the voids 7 which are created by the partly applied adhesive resin 6 is preferably 30 to 90%, particularly about 60%, of the interface between each of the active material layers 32 and 52 and the separator 4. With this area ratio being less than 30%, the electrical connection among the active material layers 32 and 52 and the separator 4 would be insufficient, resulting in increased resistance to ion conduction between the electrodes 3 and 5, which makes it difficult to obtain sufficient battery characteristics. If the area ratio exceeds 90%, the adhesion between the electrodes 3 and 5 and the separator 4 is insufficient, causing separation.
  • the depth of the voids 7 created between each of the active material layers 32 and 52 and the separator 4, i.e., the distance L between each of the active material layers 32 and 52 and the separator 4 is subject to variation depending on the ion conductivity of the electrolytic solution used.
  • the distance L is desirably 30 ⁇ m or smaller. The distance L being 30 ⁇ m or less, the resistance to ion conduction between the active material layer 32 or 52 and the separator 4 is sufficiently small, making it feasible to use the resulting battery at a high load rate similarly to a conventional battery having an exterior case.
  • the depth L of the voids 7 is more desirably 10 ⁇ m or smaller. With the depth L being 10 ⁇ m or smaller, diffusion of reaction species proceeds more easily to further reduce the ion conduction resistance. In addition, it is said that the active material layers 32 and 52 where an electrode reaction takes place has on their surface a diffusion layer of several microns in depth. If the depth L of the voids 7 is regulated to several microns or less, it is considered that diffusion of lithium ions proceeds most easily. Therefore, it is the most desirable that the depth L of the voids 7 be several microns or less.
  • the adhesive resin 6 is partly disposed between the positive electrode 3 and the negative electrode 5 by distributing the resin in the form of powder, threads, net, perforated film, etc. on one or both of the surfaces of the positive electrode 3 or the negative electrode 5 and of the separator 4 that are to face each other when assembled into a battery in such a manner that the entire area of the surfaces may not be completely covered with the resin.
  • a method by using a coater can be adopted. This is a coating method in which, as shown in the perspective view of Fig 2(a) and the side view of Fig. 2(b), a molten resin 6 is picked up with a rotating roll 21 having depressions 21a in dots and then transferred to a sheet (for example, a sheet separator 6).
  • the manner of applying the adhesive is not particularly limited, and a spray coating method and a roll coating method in which a molten resin is extruded through small holes of a roll are also employable.
  • the adhesive resin forms voids 7 in which a liquid electrolyte can be held between the electrodes 3 and 5 and the separator 4.
  • a liquid electrolyte being held in the voids 7, the resistance to ion conduction between the electrodes 3 and 5 can be reduced to such a level as in a conventional battery using an exterior case.
  • the adhesive 6 adheres the electrodes 3 and 5 and the separator 4 to each other, the electrodes 3 and 5 can be brought into contact without the aid of an exterior case.
  • the adhesion can be carried out by superposing the positive electrode 3, the separator 4, and the negative electrode 5 with the adhesive resin 6 partly applied among them and applying to the laminate body at least the pressure which causes the adhesive resin 6 to undergo plastic deformation.
  • the step of pressure application can be done at any time after completion of superposition. This step is effective in enlarging the contact area of the adhesive resin 6 to the electrodes 3 and 5 and to the separator 4 thereby to enhance the adhesive force of the adhesive resin 6.
  • the strength relies on the anchoring effect produced by the adhesive resin 6 penetrating into the fine pores on the surfaces of the electrodes 3 and 5 and the separator 4.
  • the adhesive resin 6 Even where the strength relies merely on the self-adhesiveness of the adhesive resin 6, sufficient strength for battery formation could be secured only if the contact area between the adhesive resin 6 and the surfaces of the electrodes 3 and 5 is large enough. This step is also necessary for regulating the thickness of the adhesive resin 6 interposed between the electrodes 3 and 5. It is unfavorable that the adhesive resin 6 has too large a thickness, which results in reduction of charge capacity.
  • the thickness is preferably as thin as is consistent with adhesive force.
  • the above-described manner of adhesion is advantageous in that (i) drying is not necessary every time the electrodes 3 and 5 and the separator 4 are joined, (ii) a holding tool for maintaining the joined state is not required, (iii) the step of applying at least the pressure causing plastic deformation of the resin does not need to be conducted successively and can be effected all at once, and (iv) a solvent to be used is reduced in amount.

Carbon fiber is also useful as a negative electrode active material 52. Where the particle size is too small, too large a surface area of the active material will be covered with the adhesive on adhesion, and lithium ion intercalation and disintercalation are not carried out efficiently in charging and discharging, resulting in reduction of battery characteristics.
